Rebekah's assistant loses chance to take Australian job

Rebekah Brooks's former personal assistant has been forced to abandon plans to relocate to News Corp's Australian outfit.

Cheryl Carter had been hoping to start work as an editorial assistant in Perth last month.

A spokesman for Rupert Murdoch's Australian-based company, News Limited, said she was interviewed for the post but "before a formal job offer was made, Ms Carter was arrested and so the process went no further."
